Have you ever tried stuffing cats into pillow cases? I have 15 cats in the
mobile home. I can't imagine stuffing 15 pillow cases with 15 cats and
actually living to tell the story. Good idea if you have less than 5 though.
Don't forget something to tie up the tops and just for safety, double case each
cat if there's time. Oh, just build a house out of cement blocks and have
stainless steel furniture. Cook outside, at least 50 feet from the house and
keep several dozen fire extinguishers around in case of emergency. Now having
a full blown panic attack.

Pillow cases, that's great advise if you can't get to the carriers fast enough!
Never thought of that. Will work for our ferret too!
*runs to the store to get 10 new pillow cases, just in case* ;-)
